Erosion

Chapter 173 The Flower of Evil

21 years ago, at the entrance of Hongxing Welfare Home, a cleaner was cleaning the toilet when he opened a toilet seat and revealed a naked baby inside.

The cleaner screamed in fright and rushed out to call someone.

The baby was quickly pulled out of the toilet. After examination, it was found that the baby was still breathing. It was unknown when someone threw him into the toilet.

The most important thing is that the orphanage at that time had not had any visitors for a long time. The baby appeared so strangely that some people suspected that someone inside the orphanage had done this.

"Why is this baby's skin like this?" A young nurse pointed at the weird baby with trembling fingers, "It's so scary!"

The male nurse who pulled the baby out looked down at the baby in his hand with a bit of disgust. It did look weird, but generally newborn babies do look ugly, so there might not be anything wrong with it.

The most strange thing was that it was winter and the toilet was extremely cold, but the baby was completely naked and his skin was still very warm.

After an urgent report was made to the dean, the dean ordered the baby to be taken in. Anyway, people often like to leave their children at the entrance of the orphanage and walk away. The orphanage has been forced to take in many such unowned babies.This is also the reason why the burden on welfare homes is getting heavier and heavier, and it is almost difficult for them to maintain operations.It relies on meager subsidies from the government and social donations to maintain operations.

But the strangest thing is that every year I thought it would collapse, but every year it miraculously survived.

As for the baby in the toilet, when we saw him two years later, he already looked like any other child. He looked like an ordinary malnourished orphan with a sallow face and thin muscles.At that time, some of the people who had seen the strange appearance of the baby had left the orphanage, some had grown old and passed away, and gradually no one remembered it anymore.

But this child is frail and sick, and there is hope for other children to be adopted and then grow up to contribute back to the orphanage.But this child, named Jiang Shan by the dean, had the best adoption period before the age of six, but she barely got out of bed and was relying on medicine to survive.She then grew up thin and unattractive, making it harder for her to be adopted.

Such a child who is obviously sick and needs money will bring down the orphanage sooner or later. Some people suggested sending him to the hospital, but unexpectedly the director refused.

The orphanage raised this child like this until he reached adulthood at the age of 16.There are also very few children who have been kept in the orphanage until this age, and the orphanage can no longer take them in at this age. 16 is an embarrassing age. This age is not enough to become an adult, and even finding a job will be restricted. , because the children who go out of the orphanage themselves have no academic qualifications.

On the day Jiang Shan left, the dean who had not been seen for a long time came back. He personally gave Jiang Shan a bag of things, including food, clothes, and even some money.

You must know that the orphanage itself is not rich, it is very poor, but it is unprecedented to be able to get money after leaving the orphanage.

Many children who didn't like Jiang Shan were even more jealous. I don't know who had already spread rumors that the director was using the money from the orphanage to support this good-for-nothing Jiang Shan.

But Jiang Shan is indeed not as unbearable as those children said. No one should be subjected to unwarranted malice because of his natural weakness.

It's just that people in this era have forgotten this virtue.

Virtue can only be born in the soil of light, among orphans who are unable to satisfy their needs for food and clothing. Even if "virtue" is forcefully instilled into them every day, what they get will undoubtedly be "hypocrisy."The flower of evil bears evil fruit.

Jiang Shan didn't know what kind of job he had found. A month after he left, someone found a bag at the entrance of the orphanage. There were many canned food and fruits for children, and there were a few brand-new bills in a cloth bag next to it.Nowadays, people rarely use banknotes. At first glance, they look like they have just been taken out of the bank.

Those canned snacks had long been snatched away by hungry children, but the stacks of money wrapped in rags were left unattended.

In the world of children, the money they have to stay in the orphanage is just useless paper, and there is no sweet food.The money was delivered to the dean. When the dean saw the package, the amount of money in it was exactly what he had given to Jiang Shan.The old dean sighed blankly.

……

These things were all told by an old nurse. I don’t know why he knew the details so well, as if he had experienced everything personally.After that, there was no news about Jiang Shan from the orphanage. Jiang Shan never came back. The package of food and money seemed to be her feedback to the orphanage that raised her.

"Then do you still remember Jiang Shan's appearance?" someone asked the old nurse.

It took a long time for the old nurse to say: "What year are you asking about...Jiang Shan?"

-

After the blood vessels under Jiang Shan's skin returned to normal, the doctor came in and took out a tube of blood. The doctor said he would take it back for testing, and then left in a hurry.

Zhao Ying and Zhang Zheng were both extremely happy. Only Gao Wenwu stood silently by the door. He felt that all this was very strange and couldn't help but glance at Wei Yuan who was pushing the wheelchair away.

Why did Dr. Wei insist on letting them leave just now?

What did he do to get Jiang Shan out of danger in such a short period of time?

Jiang Shanmeng drank a lot of water and felt that her body was dry. Although it was not as scary as before, she still couldn't get out of bed like this.

"Why did Old Wei let us out just now?" Zhang Zheng asked after realizing it, "Did he say anything to you?"

Jiang Shan held the mineral water bottle in one hand and looked unhappy. She took two more sips and then said slowly: "I don't know, I was unconscious just now."

Gao Wenwu saw at a glance that Jiang Shan had lied. During that time, something had obviously happened between Wei Yuan and Jiang Shan, but Jiang Shan chose to conceal it.

Not only Jiang Shan, but also Wei Yuan suddenly asked everyone to go out at such a critical moment. It was so abnormal.This is not at all like Dr. Wei, who is thorough and considerate.

Jiang Shan also noticed Gao Wenwu's scrutinizing look, but the information she got for the time being was too confusing. Wei Yuan's behavior and the words he said were undoubtedly like a thunderbolt. There was still the bitter taste of the medicine bottle on her tongue. This medicine had not been used for many years. Did it just disappear from the market? When the old nurse gave it to her, she said it was the only bottle left.

Why does Wei Yuan also have it?Suddenly, she remembered that when Wei Yuan picked up her medicine bottle for the first time in the barren mountain, he said to her, don't let others see this medicine.

This sentence is actually the same as what the old nurse said.

Jiang Shan felt that the sides of her temples were beginning to tear violently again. She couldn't think about too many things, so the best thing to do at this time was to remain silent.

The water bottle in her hand was pinched and deformed. She wanted to wait for her body to recover and go to Wei Yuan to tell the truth in person.
